Great looking A2!
I like it!
Did you happen to mention the price point on this one ?

 

[Ritchy]

Thanks Burt,
Shangai-Mayne said, size 46 cost 436 US dollars, smaller size cost less, size 36 cost 398 US dollars .
When taobao is offering discounts, cost gonna be further cheaper.

Mine is a second hand one, i paid €300 for it.

Plus, that was 1/2 year ago, currently,Exchange rates has changed, and probably , you won’t get discount, when you place order thru proxy.

That jacket is a beauty. And at that price point, a nice find. Add me to the list of interested parties for this new A-2 on the block...

Looks like a similar weave to what Buzz Rickson uses on their pile-lined jackets.

So is this weave a good thing or a bad thing? Do they not hold-up as long? I honestly wouldn't have thought twice, as they look authentic and legit in the photos from @Ritchy

 

[Shanghai-Mayne]

It didn’t contain any elasticity fabric, it won’t hold tight on your waist as Bronson did.

Thanks SM - too soon for me to say just how good a deal it is, but so far I’d say it’s a hell of a jacket for $140 (ok, plus about $60 shipping).

Still good deal for 200 dollars total, it warmth very close to B10( Gizemo , more than 300) and D1 (Bronson , near 400).

A quick comparison to an original Jorge has on eBay. I'm feeling pretty good about this.
